This course is an intensive introduction to architectural design tools and process, and is taught through a series of short exercises. The conceptual basis of each exercise is in the interrogation of the geometric principles that lie at the core of each skill. Skills covered in this course range from techniques of hand drafting, to generation of 3D computer models, physical model-building, sketching, and diagramming. Weekly lectures and pin-ups address the conventions associated with modes of architectural representation and their capacity to convey ideas. This course is tailored and offered only to first-year M.Arch students.

This is a second-semester graduate course on the geometry of manifolds. The main emphasis is on the geometry of symplectic manifolds, but the material also includes long digressions into complex geometry and the geometry of 4-manifolds, with special emphasis on topological considerations.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"What makes birds such agile flyers? One answer is their array of filoplumes, hairlike feathers that detect tiny changes in airflow. In an effort to make flying vehicles just as nimble, researchers have created flexible microsensors that carry out the same function. These sensors can detect changes in airflow speed as small as 4 millimeters per second. Four curved cantilevers connected in circuit register tiny changes in voltage as they flex. Each is thinner than a human hair and about three times as wide and can be programmed to curl to a defined curvature, thanks to the cantilevers’ polymer-on-silicon structure. Adopting this natural design for sensing airflow on the fly could help make autonomous flyers quicker and smarter..."
